Recently I started to respect Python some more again (after a 10 year abstinence) due to the introduction of type hints, which allows to go towards strong type checking in Python. (It reminds a bit of TypeScript for JavaScript, though it is integrated into the language, not on top.)👍

NOW: I see a remote chance that Python will introduce curly braces to help mere humans identify block structure easily.😜 🎉
